[Plplot-devel] New constraints imposed on plplot-test.sh

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Some time ago, Rafael discovered that plplot-test.sh could be executed from
any directory for the installed version of the octave and java front ends
potentially generating tons of *.ps, etc., files in a directory where you
might not like them.  (This is not possible for the other front ends since
certain subdirectories are required.)

I have decided that the best way to deal with this situation is to impose
the constraints that this script can only be run from a directory named
"examples" with subdirectory "c" consistent with its original design.

If anyone here finds these constraints too restrictive I will reconsider
imposing them.
